What if you turned to meditation for the sheer enjoyment of it? That may sound unlikely, but when we approach the practice with playfulness, receptivity, and excitement, meditation can become one of the most intimate and fulfilling relationships we will ever have.

On Beginning Meditation, master teacher Sally Kempton welcomes newcomers to a practice based on embracing the fullness of our experience—and reconnecting with the love, compassion, and wisdom that we are in our essence.

Beginning Meditation gives you a richly informative program for a rendezvous with your innermost self, through insights and techniques including:

How to choose a core practice that will become your meditation home base

The key principles of practice—and their inherent paradoxes

How to experiment with other techniques—and ultimately transcend technique entirely

Six guided meditations to support your evolving practice

“Meditation is a journey,” says Kempton, “and the secret is to stay on the map.” Beginning Meditation offers a struggle-free way to create a practice infused with love and fueled by the spirit of adventure.

Sally Kempton is a real find. there is something about her voice that is wonderful to guide meditations. Furthermore she languages the often difficult ways of expressing states of meditation in a way that is so understandable. I'd give her 5 stars

Sally's voice alone is a great reason to purchase this CD. She has such a comfortable, relaxed manner as she shares with you meditation basics in baby steps, giving clarity and confidence at every turn. I relish listening to it, looking forward to each new process she teaches.
